From the rulebook: "Ever wondered what is it like to be a Super Evil Villain Mastermind attempting to take over the world, scheming twisted plots in his Hidden Lair? Now you can be one." "In order to win the game you have to CONQUER THE WORLD!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt three Objective Cards at random, which are to be kept secret. In order to CONQUER THE WORLD!!!! you have to fulfil your three objectives." In this tongue-in-cheek game, the players are evil super-villains operating from secret lairs scattered around the globe. The players send out their lowly Minions who perform acts of infamy around the world and attempt to recruit new Minions.
